About Mid Sussex Health Care
Mid Sussex Health Care is a general practice working from three sites in Hurstpierpoint, Hassocks and Ditchling, at the foot of the South Downs, and caring for approximately 22,000 patients. It is part of Burgess Hill and Villages PCN, is rated Good by the CQC and reports consistently high QOF performance.
Its 75 staff include eight GP partners, salaried GPs, a nursing team of 12, healthcare assistants, phlebotomists, care coordinators and social prescribers, with a non-clinical partner managing the business. It is a GP training practice hosting Foundation Year 2 doctors and GP specialty registrars.
How the team works
The nursing team of 12 delivers evidence-based care for long-term conditions such as asthma, COPD, diabetes and coronary heart disease, alongside immunisation, cervical cytology, travel health and wound care, and practice nurses work from all three sites. Healthcare assistants and phlebotomists support clinics, while care coordinators, social prescribers, health and wellbeing coaches and a mental health support team provide personalised care. Some community nurses from Sussex Community Trust use the Hurstpierpoint surgery as a base.
Training and teaching
Mid Sussex Health Care has been involved in GP training for many years. GP partners act as GP trainers and are assessed every three years against national criteria, and the practice hosts Foundation Year 2 doctors and GP specialty training registrars, both fully supervised by a GP partner. Several current GPs trained locally, one GP works closely with Brighton and Sussex Medical School, and the practice takes part in research run from larger academic centres.
